I'm a colleague of James Sterrett and "believe" (always a dangerous thing) that he's prepped the way for me to request to join the game.

Looking forward to it!

Due to time differences and forum difficulties Brojd was unable to get to the forums yesterday and read the posts concerning responding to the email to get organized. He has since contacted me. I'd like to ask one of the fine gentlemen participating in both games to voluntarily turn over their position to Brojd so he can play in at least one game.

Player briefs have been sent! We'll no spend about a week allowing both sides to communicate and plan, and let me know their initial dispositions. Game time will then start and all communications between players will stop.

Bon chance!/Viel Glück!

Everyone should be aware of this from email, but for the sake of completeness: Army commanders (Napoleon, Charles) should have their final dispositions and overall plans to me today (Saturday). These will be distributed to players and I'll be calling for 16 April 0430 orders on Sunday.

If anyone would like to see the umpire's setup for this, I've posted a picture here.

I am now in receipt of the initial orders from both commanders. I'm seeking some clarification on a couple of things before we start. Please stop all group communication through email. All further communication should be via email to Control.

I expect to call for initial orders for 0430 16 April tomorrow morning once I have initial dispositions clarified.

I'll start a new thread for announcing calls for orders and turn advancement once we're rolling.
